It’s not always what you want and it’s not always right, BUT it is at least as good as your head when it comes to emotional response and relationships, and life is all about relationships.
A study on gut-feeling as it relates to the longevity of matrimonial relationships indicates that it is a better predictor than a person’s rationale. (BBC: ‘Love-test’ identifies newly-weds true feelings) The study focussed on marriage, but has direct implications for work and business, since their success are also founded on the comfort of relationships, whether that be with boss, customer, supplier, banker, advisor or colleague and so on.
So don’t discount emotional sensitivity in your quest for success.
